 acquire first log information stored in the first storage unit of the vehicle from the first storage unit, the first log information being on the first application software corresponding to the identification information, 
 acquire second log information stored in the second storage unit from the second storage unit, the second log information being on at least one of the second application software or the service associated with the first application software, and 
 transmit the first log information and the second log information to a device installed outside the vehicle. 
   
     
     
         8 . A vehicle log collection system comprising:
 an in-vehicle device to be mounted in a vehicle having a first storage unit and a second storage unit; and   a management device to be provided outside the vehicle and capable of communicating with the in-vehicle device, wherein   the in-vehicle device includes
 a reception unit configured to receive designation of identification information identifying first application software for use in the vehicle,
